How To Get Vaccine In Alexandria: Availability For Week Of May 2

ALEXANDRIA, VA — COVID-19 vaccination appointments are available at various providers in the upcoming week.

Alexandria and the rest of Virginia have made everyone 16 and older eligible for the vaccine. The Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are approved for use in people 18 and older, and the Pfizer vaccine is approved for use in people 16 and older.

Appointment availability is becoming more common than earlier months of vaccinations. Northern Virginia's health districts have teamed up for a new campaign called Stay Well NoVa to encourage people to get vaccinated. The campaign seeks to people who are hesitant but may be more open to getting vaccinated after seeing others do so.

The campaign comes as communities work toward herd immunity, which will make it more difficult for the virus to spread. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention doesn't set a specific percentage for achieving population immunity but says more broadly "population immunity means that enough people in a community are protected from getting a disease because they’ve already had the disease or they’ve been vaccinated."

The Alexandria Health Department has its own goal of vaccinating 80 percent of Alexandria residents 16 or older, an estimated 106,618. As of Sunday, 61,974 people have at least one dose, or 46.5 percent of the population. There are 46,565 people fully vaccinated, or 34.9 percent of the population.

This week, Alexandria will receive 11,610 first and second doses to be administered by the health department and its partners. Separate allocations go to the federally qualified health center Neighborhood Health and pharmacies in the federal pharmacy program.

In Alexandria, residents can now book appointments directly with the health department and its partners at www.alexandriava.gov/Vaccines. Other providers can be found at vaccinefinder.org. Those with internet or language barriers can contact the Alexandria COVID-19 Hotline at 703-746-4988 on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. for assistance.
